Blame Ahmed Zainal

Friday, April 30, 2010

All of a sudden it's a Bahrain trending topic, and slowly taking over the middle east, mwahahaha (evil laugh)

What is this #BlameAhmedZainal stuff?

Simple. Bahrain's Twitterers (is that a word?) decided to meet up for a geekup. Espalion Cafe, 7:30pm. Simple enough, yeah? Obviously since geeks are almost always guys and most girls are generally women who play with fluffy pencils and paint their nails pink, the geekup was a bunch of guys sitting around talking about IP addresses, hotspot sheild, rapidshare vs bittorrent, and streaming the whole thing live for the world to see via Ustream.

We all went home happy and the following conversation ensued over twitter:

@ammar456: Good to see all u at the geekup 2nite, next one is road twip to Kuwait! @ahmedzainal @BoilingIce @Redbelt @funaki @baderkamal @eyade etc..

@naseeeee: (a girl, who wanted to come to the geekup but wasn't sure if there were going to be any other girls - obviously cuz its a bunch of geeks - said) @ammar456 @ahmedzainal @BoilingIce @Redbelt @funaki @baderkamal @eyade ya3ni el banaat kela bara el salfa !!
